A man with a writs on his hands fall from te top of a tower. Does the watch give correct time ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, Because the working of writs (springs wound) watch is independent of 'g' but depends upon the potential energy stored in the spring.

A man is watching a boat speeding away from the top of a tower. The boat makes an angle of depression of 60^(@) with the man's eye when at a distance of 200 m from the tower . After 10 seconds, the angle of depression becomes 45^(@) . What is the approximate speed of the boat ( in km/hr) , assuming that it is sailing in still water ? (sqrt(3) = 1.732)
